"The prime minister has many times called out the politics of division...".

The "island of strangers" speech would beg to differ.
This feels quite *how do you do, fellow kids meme*. Genuinely, who are these "influencers" and "grassroots activists" who Labour thinks are coming to save it?

#OtD 1 Jan 1934 Nazi Germany enacted a law which forcibly sterilised more than 400,000 disabled people. Later they began murdering them, killing 250,000. Their rhetoric about disabled and ill people being a burden on workers is still widespread today stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8069...

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

Domestic violence is not restricted by ethnicity or social class. Badenoch's weaponised racism is utterly despicable. But so too is the fact that she's wilfully dismissed the experience of all women who've suffered abuse at the hands of a white British partner.

The time politicians spend wilfully misinterpreting those trying to unpack the causes of the appalling rise in anti-semitism would be better spent (better for those who care about their Jewish family and friends and colleagues) unpacking those causes. Because that's the only way to address them.
To smear Dale Vince the BBC deliberately omits the appalling Netanyahu comments he responded to: “Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets.”

While Labour works to permanently undermine basic human rights for migrants, the High Court rules that the Home Office has been failing to uphold them for years.
This is a situation which risks getting significantly worse under Labour's proposed policies.
